Drug laws and “the War on Drugs” in this country are completely f*cked. Example 8 million: Grenade burns sleeping girl as SWAT team raids home. The overzealous cops say they did “plenty of homework” before the raid. Apparently doing “plenty of homework” before a raid does not involve finding out that it’s not even a meth lab, knowing about the two children in the house, or learning how to properly use things that go boom (in a suspected meth lab). We need to treat drugs as a public health issue, not an excuse to abuse, imprison, and steal from our citizens.

Apparently when Wisconsin state Rep. Roger Rivard said that “some girls rape easy” (so he’d heard), what he actually meant was *girls are lying liars who’ll consent to sex then get knocked up then claim rape because girls are both unwilling to assume responsibility and filthy, slutty liars.* He doesn’t seem to realize that “So the way he said it was, ‘Just remember, Roger, some girls, they rape so easy. It may be rape the next morning.'” isn’t actually a ringing endorsement for his lack of misogyny. Uh, you’ll be shocked to learn that Rivard is a Republican.

Completely unrelated, but I’m going to see the band Pearl & the Beard again this week in Nashville. It’s always a fun show, and if you’re in Atlanta, Asheville, or Raleigh, they’re headed your way soon, too. Check ‘em out.
